Last night was the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner.
The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner is an annual white tie charity fundraiser for Catholic Charities, held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York on the third Thursday of October (Smith died on October 4). It is organized by the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation in honor of former New York Governor Al Smith, the first Catholic presidential candidate. The first dinner was held in 1945.
Since 1960 (when Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy were speakers), it has been a stop for the two main presidential candidates during several U.S. election years.
Candidates have traditionally given humorous speeches poking fun at themselves and their opponents, making the event similar to a roast. It is generally, the last event at which the two candidates share a stage before the election.
Below are Cardinal Dolan's remarks from last night's dinner:
Pope Benedict XVI has called for the Church to celebrate a Year of Faith beginning this October 2012 and running through November 2013. This Year of Faith is designed to renew the faith of Catholics so that we will be joy-filled witnesses to the Risen Christ in our world.
As a Chaminade Faith Family, we invite you and your families to join as we officially open the Year of Faith with a special event called “The Faith Exposed.” This event will take place on October 15, 2012 at 7:30pm in Darby Auditorium and will include faith talks from three members of our Religion faculty, live music, and Eucharistic Adoration.
A commercial and poster for the event can be found above.

Chaminade's First Triumph of the Cross Prayer Service
On Friday, September 14, the entire Chaminade student body, faculty and staff gathered on Ott Field to commemorate the Triumph of the Cross with a prayer service and breakfast.
Great Article from Bustedhalo about respecting ourselves and our opponents when playing sports. And I agree with the author, I am very excited for the Olympics!!!
and it reminds of a quote I read this week:
"God isn't the force that made it happen, he is the creator that made it possible." Brother Guy J. Consolmagno, SJ (a research astronomer at the Vatican Observatory)
